Wow!! Nice. We got our baby home last weekend. Best pulling 5th wheel ever. Had a great experience with RVSFORLESS. First camping trip in 2 weeks!

They are commonly available for free, (because the owner no longer wants to pay the yearly maintenance fee)!

Call TT with the membership number to get the details of every resale membership that you consider to purchase. They will tell you how many times it may still be transferred, (if at all), what parks, what region(s), the transfer fee amount, if you have access to cabins, "free" week(s), etc...

There are many different contracts out there, some may not be transferable after you purchase it!!

Out the factory door weight.

Our Baby will be heading home tomorrow. It's being hauled to NW WA and our Trade will be hauled back to Rolling Retreats. Should be here Tuesday.

Congratulations!! I can't wait to see how your bed clearance is and it she will be level. I'm all giddy inside for you as mine will be done soon.

[Cummins12V98]

Now the fun begins, NOT!!! We are pulling onto our property today and then we have to unload 3.5 years of "STUFF".

The best part is everything will be removed from the old unit instead of transferring like we planned if we were to have traveled to RollingRetreats and done a swap of all the "STUFF".

Wife is a HOARDER and admits it. So it will be time to dump all the things that were never used in 3.5 years of fulltiming.

Yes the bed clearance will be interesting to see where we are on that. I will PM info on that at a later date.

One thing that I think will be a great thing to have is the LED backup lights RR installed for me in place of the reflectors at the back.

[rynosback]

Are you saying that there are no reverse lights on the 5ver?

[Cummins12V98]

I "think" the scare lights high at the back on each side come on. I will have backup lights at the two lowest spots where they typically install reflectors.

[Cummins12V98]

Here is a couple pics. It arrived Monday and the old home headed to Oklahoma.

[rynosback]

Nice looking!

[Cummins12V98]

Thanks!

Time to start really looking it over so we can get everything fixed that may be wrong.

[Cummins12V98]

This is one feature I am thrilled with! Old MS had the single door Dometic.

[Cummins12V98]

Used the washer and 220V dryer last night! They work great. Clothes are dry in just a few minutes.

[Cummins12V98]

I am going to install the AutoFormer inside of power cord compartment to the left of the power reel. I had it wired in on the old MS and did a good job keeping the power up at these low voltage parks. Think I will buy some 50A cord caps to make it plug and play. Will post pics when done.

Interesting, do you do this along with the progressive industries option, Amazon.com: Progressive Industries HW50C 50 Amp Hardwired Electrical Management System with Remote Display: Automotive?

[Cummins12V98]

Yes, I was told to Install the AutoFormer first before anything else. I have the built in system also.

[rynosback]

Did you do it on your last 5ver or just going to do it on this one? Who told you to do it? So $613 plus shipping. https://www.hughesautoformers.com/in...d=1&Itemid=103
It also just has 3 out of 5 stars in reviews.

[Cummins12V98]

Yes I installed in in our last RV because the IDIOTS at Thousand Trails in Palm Springs said they would ruin their pedestals. I used to just plug in at the pedestal but after hearing they would not allow them I just installed mine inside compartment. I tried to see the comments but could not view. I am guessing there were complaints of not being a surge protector.

I think Slade at RollingRetreats said to install first in system. I was lucky and bought mine new from a guy for $250 that just bought a MotorHome that had one built in.

It really does work at these low voltage parks.

But how many are there of the low voltage parks? And i think our power management options will shut things off if the power is to low and the Progressive protects against spikes,surges. I gues it is like how many condoms do you need for safe sex..LOL

[Cummins12V98]

The Progressive Industries will not boost voltage. Yes there are MANY parks that have LOW voltage.

I always risked it!
